Thanks for all your ideas and sypmathy! My fuse is short at the moment, nothing to do with the cats, more being hugely pregnant and moving house! Like anybody, I just want to nip this in the bud whilst they are still so young.

There are only 2 kittens, Socks is staying with us, and Iggy is going to my Brother in law and his Girlfriend, but they have asked if we will care for her till after Xmas, as they will probably spend not far off the entire Xmas here with us anyway, so dont want to leave kitten alone at their house. Which is fair enough.

I have to go out this afternoon and bring some more things over from my house, I will try all of the suggestions though. Later on today I will scrub the area again, and move a litter tray there, after the weekend it will be easier for me to keep an eye on them as I will be in that living room permenently anyway. Fingers crossed....watch this space....

Good luck lass, you must be so stressed with all that going on. Take some me time and quiet moments with your kits whenever poss

It is frustrating. May be worth trying the Cat Attract litter - it is not cheap but it may be worth just using for a few weeks to get the kittens into a habit.

Everyone has given you some fab advice and I really hope it works for you...it is bad enough having problems with the litter tray without being heavily pregnant as well!!!

I can only reiterate what everyone else has said because it really will work and be effective in such a short time.

Fingers crossed that you see an improvement soon

Another trick I have found that works is to put aluminum foil down flat where you do not want them to go. Cats hate the feel of it and if they try to wee there it will splash back on them making it less desirable to go there. Good luck with sorting them out, and with your new baby too!

You could buy a second hand large 3ft dog pen for around £25 and put a shallow tray in one end, food and water at the other and carpet the tray .
The kittens will get used to going on the tray not the carpet. Let them sleep in the pen at night and part of the day unless supervised. Once trained they should be OK

when there are youngsters in the house i tend to literally cover the floor in cat litter trays and then reduce the amount as they grow but i love the foil idea and will be trying this.

I also watched a TV program lately where they suggested putting food trays on top of the spot where they were going as cats dont like to pooh where they eat but I think that this would help more with older cats than kittens.

I have a male neuter who is a bit of a sprayer when hassled; I tried putting a small bowl of dried food in the area he normally spayed - made no difference - he obviously hadn't read the same book as I had!!
